7.4 Technology database
The technology database manages the cutting data according to the
machining mode, the workpiece material and the cutting material. The
graphic on this page shows the composition of the database. Each
cube represents a data record with cutting data.
In its standard version, the technology database is designed for 9
workpiece-material/tool-material combinations. You can optionally
expand the database to 62 workpiece material-cutting material
combinations.
The CNC PILOT ascertains these criteria from the following
information:
 Operating mode: An operating mode is assigned in the cycle
programming (Teach-in mode) to each cycle, and in smart.Turn to
each unit (see table).
 Work material: The workpiece material is defined in the ITS menu
during cycle programming, and in the program header in smart.Turn.
 Cutting material: Each tool description contains the cutting
material.
Using these three criteria, the CNC PILOT accesses the cutting data
record (shown yellow in the figure) and generates from it the
technology-data proposal.
Explanation of abbreviations used in the graphic:
 Task: Machining mode
 WS: Workpiece material
 SS: Cutting material
